Hello everyone! Most of you likely do not remember me; I haven't logged on here in over a year. But there was a time when I was absolutely addicted to these forums, and now that I've moved on, I wanted to drop by and thank everyone for the countless times I received excellent help from you.

I had ordered an '06 350Z GTc back in February from Tochigi, which arrived in early May. Three days before that, I sold my Max; a bitter sweet moment indeed. I loved that car; incredibly trouble-free and powerful. There wasn't a single time that I pushed down on its gas pedal and it didn't put a smile on my face; what a rush! I drove it 1,700 miles from NC to CO and back, and then back again to CO, and it drove like a car fresh out of the factory. What a joy! On the day of the sale, I placed the ad on Craigslist at 8am and by 2pm, it was already gone! A guy bought it for his 16 year son to serve as his first car. The kid was jumping out of his skin after just a 5-minute test drive. I'm sure he will care for it just as I did.

So again, thank you all for your help over the years. Jeff, Matt, Brian, Craig B., Juan, and everyone else....you are awesome! These forums will always get props from me. For over a year, I have been on the www.my350z.com forums; a very different place (one of the longest threads is titled "Do you carry a gun in your Z?" ), so I miss the Max forums sometimes.

Goodbye and good luck!

Some pix of my new reason for smiling...

 

 

nice

 

Nice Z! And for the record, I remember seeing you from time to time on the forums.. Good luck with the Z, bro!

 

Your car looks amazing

 

Wanna trade?

 

At least you're moving on to something even the Maxima would want to drive Props to the sexy looking Z. I hope that kid takes good care of the Max. BTW, let's see some pics of your old max, as a last tribute.

 

nice house!

 

Very nice Z man. I just picked me up one two weeks ago and I'm loving it. I kept my max though.

 

That car is teh hotness! I've test driven Z's and they are a real kick to drive! Only thing I don't like is the rear wing...never been a wing fan. Also kind of curious, did you have to order the Brembos as an option? As I recall, they stopped putting them on as standard equipment in 04 or 05.

 

Shaun! Can't believe I forgot to mention you. Thanks much for all your help over the years; you are one crazy talented mechanic . You are a mod now! Congrats! Is Jeff still around?

 

Thank you. Mine is the GT trim, so Brembos and 19"r/18"f Rays are standard on that and Track models and not even available as an option on others. In 03 and 04 Brembos were only offered on Track, and in 05, on Track and 35th Anniversary Edition.

 

Great! Congratulations! Are you a my350z.com member? It's no maxima.org (unfortunately...as you will notice right away), but is still ok.

 

Thank you. I still remember your gray Max from your signature; one of the nicest ones on here without a doubt. Keep it up!

 

Thanks! That kid was drooling so bad over the Max that I know he must take very good care of it. He said he could not believe that was going to be his first car. I believe it is a bit too much power for someone right off the bat, but he seemed level-headed. I had told him about these forums too, may be he is a member here now?

I know, I wanted to post pictures of the Max here, but I didn't have my digital camera when I had the car, so all pics need to be scanned. I might just do that in the next few days...

 

I wish i could sell maximas that quick over here. too many lesbos looking for subarus i guess. nice z.

 

nice Z my sister has a silver one.

 

wowzers thats a nice Z!!!

 

BAHAHAAHA!

Nice Z! Staggered Track Editions FTW!

 

what does the model lineup look like for 350's? track, GT, touring, something like that?

 

I remember you being here. That Z is awesome! I want one when I grow up.

 

Very nice.

 

Nice! I am getting a Z also.........a Z28. V8 is more fun.

 

Wow that thing is sweet.. Looks like a 911 in that last shot from the rear.. Enjoy

 

Thanks for the props.

what are you gonna do for a snow car?

 

Didnt Denver get 2ft of snow? Hope you parked inside.

 

looks great!

 

Yes, it's been in the garage for the better part of past 2 months.

This was the view when I opened the garage this evening after the storm passed:



Unfortunately, wife's car wasn't so lucky. Their offices closed at 9am, so she was home practically just a few hours after the blizzard hit, but the accumulation was already so much that her car couldn't climb our driveway and had to be parked right across.

This is what we discovered after the storm. Car is barely recognizable (one in the middle):



Front view:



But atleast we are not as unlucky as this car's owner. Yes, there is a car under there. My only 2 clues were the barely visible third brake light and left side view mirror:

 

I've been carpooling with my wife for the most part; only got to drive the Z less than 200 miles since mid-October.

 

It has changed a little bit since '03. The '06 trims are Base, Enthusiast, Touring, Track, and GT for the coupe and Enthusiast, Touring, and GT for the roadster. GT was new for this year, and in '05, a 35th Anniversary Edition was offered. For '07 (arriving in Jan), Track has been discontinued.

 

Ohh, that would KILL me.

Happy Holidays from Sunny Florida
